Inverness has introduced a novel business concept with the recent opening of Molly’s Laundrette at 114 Academy Street. Combining the practicality of laundry facilities with the comfort of a coffee shop, Molly’s aims to cater to a diverse clientele including students, tourists, and local families.
Announced by Inverness Bid through social media, Molly’s Laundrette offers state-of-the-art, coin-operated washing machines and dryers in a self-service setting. Customers can relax with a beverage from the onsite cafe while their laundry completes its cycle. Prices range from £6 for a standard 10kg wash to £15 for a 15kg hot wash, with dryers available at £1-£1.50 per 10 minutes.
Open daily from 8am to 8pm, Molly’s also extends its services to local hotels and B&Bs. The new establishment arrives amid ongoing efforts by Highland Council to revitalize Academy Street, including plans to enhance pedestrian and cyclist accessibility by redesigning traffic flow.
Academy Street, which currently faces a vacancy rate of 10% according to The Press and Journal, is poised to benefit from Molly’s as a welcomed addition to the evolving city landscape.
For residents and visitors alike, Molly’s Laundrette represents a convenient and innovative addition to Inverness’s bustling city centre.
